    Encore: Preparing for Birth and Breastfeeding with Molly Mills Aug 04, 2020
    Show notes

    Before we dive into these conversations and learn more from and about our upcoming guests, I first wanted to introduce you to Pure Nurture and give you the background story and share what Pure Nurture is all about, how it got started, and where it's headed.

    Pure Nurture is all about a holistic approach to creating a healthy new life for mom and baby. It is a community where we fully believe that self-care is baby-care. It encompasses a mind-body approach to pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.

    Pure Nurture is about connection, community, learning, inspiration, empowerment, self-care, self-love and most importantly, it's a place where you can take all of this in, and ONLY keep what feels best for you and your family and leave the rest.

    I created Pure Nurture after suffering from postpartum depression. The various challenges of pregnancy and motherhood left me feeling alone and I knew I needed so much more connection and support. My hope is that this community will help you to feel more connected, to find the support you need and to ultimately feel your best.

    We are all in this together, this motherhood journey. And it's full of love, laughter, crying, whining, excitement, contradictions, judgments, and so much more. Just like life, it is full of ups and downs.

    My hope is that this podcast supports you on your journey and leaves you feeling inspired, empowered, and supported as a woman, a mom-to-be, and as a mom.

    For our very first episode, we are joining Molly Mills, RN, and IBCLC. Molly is on the lactation team at the mama 'hood where she runs a weekly Breastfeeding Group as well as an Infant Sleep Group. Molly is passionate about building a strong community for mamas and families so everyone has access to support. There is so much advice and information out there, Molly's passion is in helping parents discover what feels right for them in their parenting journey, which is exactly what you will hear during our conversation. When she's not at the 'hood, she's out on a run, learning to meditate or playing outdoors with her husband and three daughters. Molly will leave you feeling supported, empowered, and connected as a mama, especially related to birth and breastfeeding.

    Encore: Birth, the microbiome, and your baby's lifelong immunity with Toni Harman Jul 14, 2020
    Show notes

    When Toni Harman launched her award-winning documentary, MICROBIRTH, she wanted to shout from the rooftops about the critical microscopic events happening during pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.

    She believes that this is critical knowledge that every healthcare professional should know about and should care about to help empower parents with full informed choice.

    After all, the infant microbiome is a field of science that strongly supports vaginal birth (when possible), immediate skin-to-skin contact, and exclusive breastfeeding. This enables the optimal training of the infant immune system to benefit a child's lifelong health.

    That's why she created the Microbirth School, an online course offering continuing education for healthcare professionals.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How Toni went from filming horror films to filming childbirth (0:35)
    • What is the microbiome (4:46)

    • Where to study the microbiome (35:55)
